Sorry, didn't realize they charged extra on top of shipping. Looks like you would have to order several to make it wortwhile.

So where’s this ammo-can sale?
Thanks for the info folks. Here is the thread:
-
Large ammo cans I have not seen before. Never bought cans from these folks but have ordered lots of other stuff. They are reliable and have good service.
-
Does Groundspeak allow posting links to commercial sites? I seem to remember they do not but can't find the policy. It isn't a competitor, just a reputable company with a sale on large ammo cans.
Thanks, Griz

That's pretty interesting to me. The caches by area make sense, but I would not have guessed that much spread in caches per person across the various states.
Although I wouldn't try it and don't know if it can be done, the different ratios of micros to regulars would be interesting too.
-
I read enough of the thread to wish I hadn't read any of it. If only I could wash my brain out with soap I would feel cleaner.
-
Just for clarification, I only saw this problem referenced on another thread. I've never cached near there or ran into this. And I would tend to agree, at some point this guy may well grow up and stop playing childish games. I just thought there might be a way to lock him out until he can play well with others.

Can anything be done when you have somebody like this?

Apparently he gets a kick out of stealing caches. Could you close out his account? I guess you would have to block his email address too in order to prevent him from creating a new account. Is this form of mental illness common?

Just over half a year for me. When I started numbers seemed important, an area thick with caches was a good thing. Now I look at it as a way to find interesting, beautiful, or fun places.

I had a cheapo pin on compass sitting on the little shelf below the steering wheel. Just happened to be looking at it when I opened the door, and it would track the door as it opened and closed. I thought I had discovered some new magnetic property until I realized there was a speaker, with its magnet, in the door.

Yep, in that application Tritium is pretty safe. They use larger quantities in some gun sights, and the only warnings are what you have already heard here. IE: do not smash or ingest it.
-
Thanks folks, that's the info I was looking for.
-
I sure type slow.

There are several ways to show the coordinates for the next stage. I've seem them written on the outside of a handrail, printed on a sheet that was taped to an unobtrusive surface, and laminated on a tag that was tied to the bottom of a walkway. I am absolutly sure there are other ways I have yet to see.
Were they any clues on the cache page that indicated what you were looking for?
-
I've wondered this same thing. One cache I hide was on a small bridge, and one of the site robots encouraged me to add the handicapped accessible icon. I did, but wondered how someone would fare if they attempted it in a chair. There was a slight incline to get to it, a little steeper than a ramp. But my main concern was the "roadway" was composed of coarse planks, and I have no idea if that could catch a wheel or not.
So I'll ask here since there are knowledgeable people in the thread. Where should the limit be for handicap accessable? Especially in terms of grade and surface. I don't mind typing "cache is above eye level" to inform someone that it can't be reached from a chair, but for instance, I don't want to trick them into going a quarter mile on a nice trail but be stopped by what seemed to me to be a shallow ditch.
-
I talked with one of the leading hamster caches and he explained that I need to put little air holes in the ammo box.
Holes in the box....I'll have to try that. Do you drill the holes before or after you seal the little rodent inside?
-
Guess I'm too old to appreciate the attraction. I got over "eewwwww" over 20 years ago, but knock yourself out.

Look in the pharmacy area of the drug stores and marts. They sell them as pill holders.

Congrats on your record. It made me curious and I looked at my state's new caches. Starting with today, here are the number of new caches across the whole state, about 400 miles wide:
18th 0
17th 9
16th 2
15th 13
14th 10
13th 11
12th 4
11th 11
10th 4
9th 3
8th 10
Of those, the vast majority were found on the day they were published or the next. Right now there are only 9 of them unfound, and 6 of those were placed yesterday. Several of those may be found but not yet logged. Since it is unusual to have 17 unfound caches avalible to us at any one time, I would guess your record is safe from Virginians.

On Saturday I placed a micro that has already been found, logged another DNF on a micro that should be findable, did two of the middle stages of a multi in various parks and kicked myself for not having the camera with me, and found the final of a puzzle-multi cache that was a lot of fun.
-
Wow! That's quite an effort. They will be through VA (my state) and WV in one day this week, on the other side from me. But I wish them luck and good weather.
-
Nearest is a beautiful spot 1.8 miles away, and I have to drive about 10 miles to get there because it's on the other side of a river.
After that the nearest is 2.7 miles.
Nearest unfound are two 6.6 miles away, both in a park two rivers away. I was going to go after them yesterday, but ran out of time.
-
It can't figure out my address, so I used my zip code. 23149 Once you get about 20-30 miles away, caches in several cities start showing up, so the numbers rise for 50 miles.
5 miles 3
10 miles 21
25 miles 164
50 miles 836

Cacher that refuses to sign logbooks

Just looking at some of his logs at random, I noticed that at GC17JZC, he "found" it after several DNFs, and just before the owner confirmed it was missing. Something tells me that instead of his job taking him all over the world, his computer is how he travels. I will apologize to him if he signs a cache log near me the next time his job takes him to the east coast.
